at this moment IPL has been listed on Willow Plus (Neo Cricket) Ch.713 on Dish Network. Dont know about HD yet???

So what is going on with WillowPlus/NeoCricket?

The original Neo Cricket USA website still exists (with IPL 2012 listings), but its no longer linkable from the main Neo Prime/Neo Sports India website. The USA schedule page (which was still active, if blank) until a few weeks ago, has now gone.

On the hand, there is no mention of the channel on Willow's website. Dish's cricket page still lists Neo Cricket (with the original text about live coverage of all matches from India that only applied for a few months after Neo was launched.)

Aside from the automated TV listings pages (linked to above), I can't find any mention of WillowPlus on the internet anywhere.

Does the channel now feature the Willow logo at all times, and carry the same advertising/self-promos as seen on the original Willow channel? If it truly evolves to this, I guess its a good thing as Willow has too many live-matches clashes in Nov-Feb.

Any chance it might appear on DirecTV? :-)

No Neocricket does not have any logos on during the live telecast although they have whiteout logo during old telecast plus have all the commercial from willow. There is no mention anywhere about willow plus but when u check their schedule( check link in my earlier post) it does says on top willow plus

Thanks for quick reply. Does that mean willow stream ipl matches on Directv as well? How do we know streaming will be broadcasted in hd or sd? Sorry for the dumb question, because I dont see any update on directv program guide.
